[JayPea]

Correct. Ephrata it is.

 

[Shanghai]

OK, Name this Amtrak Station!!

 

[amtkstn]

Durant mi?

 

[Shanghai]

Durant mi?

YES. you are correct!!

 

[Shanghai]

I think Stan forgot to post a photo, so I keep it going with the photo below.

It is an active Amtrak station.

 

[Ryan]

Rockville, MD.

That's not the Amtrak platform, though.

 

[Shanghai]

Yes, Ryan you are correct. I planted that photo with the expectation

that you would be able to know the station.

 

[AG1]

Yes, Ryan you are correct. I planted that photo with the expectation

that you would be able to know the station.

Plus there is a readable Rockville sign in the photo.

 

[Shanghai]

I'll post another easy active Amtrak Station, or a waiting shack!!

Go for it!!

 

[Notelvis]

Rensselaer, IN.

At least it was...... my sister took a photo from the Cardinal in March 2013 which showed the foundation for an improved Amtrak waiting area going in. I've yet to find a photo of the now-finished product but I'm thinking it will be similar to the new shelters in Connellsville, PA and Alliance, OH.

Here is the photo my sister took 13 months ago -

Your photo aroused my curiosity again Shanghai and I did another search. HERE is a photo of the new Rensselaer, IN Amtrak waiting area from the Great American Stations website -

 

[Shanghai]

WOW!! I didn't think anyone would name the station quite so quickly.

I was thinking of clues that I would need to post to get someone to

answer. Good show, Notelvis. Your turn to post a photo.

 

[Notelvis]

I spent a great deal of time online last fall trying to find an image of the 'new' Rensselaer Amtrak Station Shangai. I didn't find any of the new one but I did keep turning up photos of the old one. Had it not been for that curiosity raised by my sister's snapshot, I would not have had a clue!

OK guys - here is my next submission. This is the attractive waiting room of an active Amtrak Station. I'll toss out some clues tomorrow (Monday) if no one is getting warm.

 

[amtkstn]

Is it on the CZ route?

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Prince WV?

 

[Notelvis]

It is not on the California Zephyr route nor is it Prince, WV.

 

[AG1]

High Point, NC

 

[Notelvis]

RRRick is correct.

High Point, NC

Should anyone be interested, here is an exterior photo of the High Point station -

 

[AG1]

Somebody else please post a station photo. I don't have one ready to go.

 

[Lakeshore]

I'll throw this one out there to keep things going.

 

[Notelvis]

I'll guess Ottumwa, IA.

Fresh Air stop for #5.

 

[Lakeshore]

Correct

 

[Notelvis]

Let's try something entirely different.........

This building is not (yet) a staffed active station. However, plans exist to renovate this building into a new Amtrak station. Bids could possibly be solicited before the end of this year. The photo is taken from the platform of the existing station which would be replaced by this 'new' station.

Who will name the location of this wannabe train station first?

 

[greatcats]

Raleigh, NC?

 

[Notelvis]

Correct greatcats - Raleigh, NC.

Your turn to post........

And for anyone interested, here is a rendering of what a new Raleigh Union Station might look like -

 

[greatcats]

One if these days I will figure out how to post photos. Meanwhile, next poster , please. Thanks.
